Photo of the Day

Elgol Isle of Skye Scotland
The Cuillins from Elgol, Isle of Skye, June 2021.
One of my most memorable photographs, even though it sits far outside my usual style. I?d first sensed the potential of this scene during a trip the previous year, and from that moment the image became a quiet obsession. Everything was pre‑planned: I booked a cottage right beside Elgol beach, timing the stay to fall as close as possible to the summer solstice.
On our second night, luck and light aligned. I wasn?t alone?another photographer from London was working the same view. After we?d each made our frames, there came a natural pause. We set our cameras down and simply sat there, letting the grandeur of the Cuillins and the slow burn of the evening sky wash over us. A shared moment of stillness, awe, and gratitude for what nature can reveal when you meet her at the right time.
